PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
"Nigel Bottom, played tenderly by Ohad Ashkenazi, boasts beautiful high notes and a dorky physicality that makes you root for him instantly. His chemistry with Lauren Dodds (as Portia)... was another highlight of the show. Their scene in the park, where he reads her a poem, elicited enough laughter to lift the roof off the theater."
- The Popular Review
- Helen Ganley, The New England Theater Geek
"Ohad Ashkenazi is wonderful."
- Jacquinn Sinclair, WBUR
"...Mardesich and Ashkenazi have undeniable chemistry, critical in portraying the co-dependent siblings... Incredibly funny scenes, together and apart... Ashkenazi has a stunning vibrato to his voice."
- Kevin T. Baldwin, METRMAG

"The Bottom brothers are a hoot. As Nigel, Ashkenazi emanates a lofty, dreamlike energy. His soaring tenor melts hearts during 'To Thine Own Self.'"

"Ashkenazi’s gangly Caden fills each of his moments with manic mirth and surprising character revelations. He brims with goofiness, deftly delivering FastHorse’s clever insider bits as when he asked aloud, “What’s a dramaturg?” and hears “No one knows” in response..."
- R. Scott Reedy, BroadwayWorld

"...a solid cast across the board, all of whom leaned into the humor of their character’s stereotypes with impressive depth, especially Ashkenazi, who plays the overzealous, wide-eyed elementary school teacher."
- Madeline Aitken, Cambridge Day
